Nigeria Classical @NaijaClassical: African Musical Publishers out now Piano Concerto by Fred Onovwerosuoke. World premiere in Boston on 12 March 2017.

Comments by email:

1) Thank you greatly, Bill. I had no idea Naija Classical tweeted about the upcoming world premiere of the piano concerto. It's thoroughly been a privilege crafting a commissioned work in this genre. The 2 movement work, respectively subtitled, Incolatus and Evigilans takes after the following poem, exclusively shared here for your readers:  

INCOLATUS 
Atonal riddles 
Worlds in variance 
Echoes of tomorrow 
Today charted 

EVIGILANS 
Awakening 
Straddling horizons 
Where only a few tread 
Tickling, tingling childhood - 
Memories of innocence - 
Of storms turned waves 
Thrusting forward, forward, 

Forward ever

- F.  [Fred Onovwerosuoke]

2) Blessings to you, Bill. That's very kind of Eni Fashanu. I'm quite impressed by remarkable inroads for classical music in Nigeria and I'm sure wider appreciation to follow. Best, F.  Fredomusic, Inc.
